I'm always surprised when I offer this same advice to people and they don't really want to hear it, especially those younger. It's almost like it's an embarrassment for some people to consider the works of the past, be it drawings, music or movies. There's so much to learn from and enjoy. I thrive on it!

I'll have to find some more works by A.B. Frost. Love his characters and line work !

This is great--thanks! Btw, a big section of well-reproduced illustrations by Frost can be found in the book The Complete Illustrated Works of Lewis Carroll, used copies are available on Amazon. Also, check out The Lost Art of Zim: Cartoons and Caricatures. It's full of great character works by Eugene Zimmerman--a contemporary of Frost http://www.picturethispress.com/the-lost-art-of-zim-cartoons-and-caricatures/
